Former Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak Wants Level Playing Field for Small Distillers

Former provincial P.C. leader and now opposition member, Tim Hudak, says he feels that liquor laws need to accommodate the smaller distillers, so that wineries and craft brewers can be on the same playing field.

According to Hudak, there are many wineries in the Niagara-area that can sell glasses of wine and this would also allow craft brewers to do the same for the customers who are on tours or visiting their location.

The current laws in Ontario do not allow distillers to sell alcoholic drinks at their locations, but they can sell bottles.

Hudak says, he was also unaware that distillers were not allowed to sell mixed drinks.
